I think you can disable location history/reporting. (I don't because I like looking at my location history, but it IS creepy that it's an opt-out)

- glhaynes 9y agoIt's also (to many) a creepy usage of the data. It's reminding you that it's watching you — and not (primarily) to help you, but for somebody's profit.
- mkj 9y agoYou still get those even with it disabled.
- kqr 9y agoThese are two separate things. You can disable location history, but I'm not actually sure what that means in terms of data retention besides "you can no longer access your location history". I do know that it does not disable these sort of "immediate" responses to your current location. You can disable the responses (one by one separately), but it is pretty clear that it disables only that specific response, not the data collection itself.
